Between 2017-2024, the World Bank provided over US$100 million for the Resilient Natural Resources Management for Tourism and Growth (REGROW) project, which doubled the size of Ruaha National Park and funded paramilitary Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) rangers responsible for killings, forced disappearances, and various egregious human rights abuses against Indigenous pastoralists and local farmers.
#Africa - #Coexistence That's Built to Last
"For two decades, African People & Wildlife has partnered with communities across #Tanzania to protect wildlife, restore landscapes, and support sustainable livelihoods. See how this work has grown and where it’s going next.
Landscape Restoration and Connectivity
We lead collective efforts to restore and connect a flourishing mosaic of lands that benefits people, parks, and wildlife while building local #ClimateChange #resilience.
#HabitatLoss and #fragmentation pose one of the greatest threats to the future of Africa’s people and #wildlife. Without urgent action and collaborative partnerships, our most critical landscapes and their natural resources could be lost forever.
Support Local Corridors
We engage communities in the conservation of critical corridors for wildlife and livestock that link protected areas with communal and private lands.
Revitalize #DegradedPastures
The #overgrazing of local pastures can lead to #SoilErosion and inadequate food for wildlife and livestock. Together with local communities, we monitor and manage the long-term health of vital habitats that benefit people and wildlife.
Layer Programming to Maximize Impact
We overlap our rangeland management programming with the observed range of lions, leopards, and cheetahs to ensure the health and connectivity of vital big cat habitat. We also enhance the health of these pastures with an increased beehive presence through our Women's #Beekeeping Initiative.
Leverage Partnerships to Enhance Connectivity
We work with multiple partners – including government authorities – across large landscapes like the #Ngorongoro Conservation Area to identify shared goals and implement joint programming with local community members."

> Vietnam Customs met with Tanzanian and Namibian customs and fisheries authorities under the UNODC‑led FISHNET‑II project to strengthen cooperation against “illegal fishing and trade in CITES‑listed species,” focusing on information sharing, legal frameworks, and emerging violation methods. The initiative aims to improve supply chain controls and support Vietnam’s efforts to have the EU’s “yellow card” warning lifted. > > Following policy‑level meetings, the regional customs office in Haiphong conducted technical exchanges and a site visit to Dinh Vu Port, where the delegation assessed Vietnam’s inspection infrastructure and operational procedures. The collaboration is part of a broader push to combat fisheries crime and protect marine resources through enhanced international coordination.
